One of the world's biggest pop tours is making its way to the Bay Area, as South Korean boy band BTS prepares to perform a series of shows at Stanford Stadium this weekend.

BTS is scheduled to play three nights - Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday - drawing large crowds expected to exceed recent major concerts at the venue. Preparations are already underway at Stanford Stadium, where officials are planning for significant attendance.

The tour marks BTS' long-awaited return to the stage following the members' completion of mandatory military service in South Korea. At San Francisco International Airport, signs welcoming fans have already been set up as visitors begin arriving for the shows.
